Variations

The sound change of 'g' into 'h' occurred in the Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech and Slovak languages (hence Bohdan). Although this sound change did not occur in the Polish language, either Bogdan or Bohdan may be used in Poland.

Slavic variants include Serbo-CroatianBožidar (Божидар) and Polish Bożydar, while diminutive forms and nicknames include Boguś, Bodya, Boca, Boci, Boća, Boša, Bogi. The feminine form is Bogdana or Bohdana, with variants such as Bogdanka.

Employing nonviolentcivil disobedience, Macierewicz founded in 1976 the Workers' Defense Committee, a major anti-communist opposition organization that was the forerunner of Solidarity. During the 1980s Macierewicz directed the Centre for Social Research of Solidarity and was one of the trade union's key advisors. A former political prisoner, he escaped from incarceration and was hiding until 1984, directing work and issuing underground publications.

Top Polish officials resign over Smolensk crash

Poland's new defence minister has dissolved the Air Force regiment responsible for transporting top state officials. It comes after a report published last Friday cited poor pilot training and lax security procedures as the cause of the 2010 crash that killed PresidentLech Kaczynski.
Tomasz Siemoniak says three generals and 10 officers responsible for the training of pilots have also been dismissed. Siemoniak himself was only sworn in earlier this week, after his predecessor Bogdan Klich was forced out due to the report's findings.

Gates praised Poland's willingness to send troops into harm's way, including about 1,600 in Afghanistan.
Poland is one site for a planned US missile shield system that Russia has aggressively protested, but neither Gates nor Klich mentioned it during a brief signing ceremony.
Rhetoric on the missile system grew heated last year, and was made worse by US outrage over Russia's invasion of Georgia last summer.
Both the US and Russia have made overtures to ease the tension since President Barack Obama's inauguration.
The United States hopes it might work out new assurances to Russia that the system is aimed at Iran and not at Moscow.
Meanwhile, NATO's secretary-general said on Thursday that efforts to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan were not succeeding, but alliance members produced no new public pledges of support despite urging from Gates.
NATO spokesman James Appathurai said alliance defence ministers had welcomed the Obama administration's plan to send 17-thousand more US troops to shore up the 65-thousand international troops - half of them Americans - fighting resurgent Taliban rebels.
